Neuer
Thuram Baresi Nesta Maldini

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ah, this changes day by day depending when you ask me.

--------------------------Peter Schmeichel-----------------------------

Javier Zanetti-------Vincent Kompany-----Marcel Desailly-----Paolo Maldini

----------Lothar Matthäus----Andrea Pirlo-----Ruud Gullit-------------

----------Cristiano Ronaldo----Ronaldo--------Lionel Messi-----------------

Didn't see Maradona's best years.

 

[James]

Oliver Kahn

Roberto Carlos
Nesta
Desailly
J.Zanetti

Pirlo
Zidane
Lampard

Cristiano Ronaldo
Ronaldo Nazario
Messi

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

----------------Dino Zoff

Gentile Baresi Costacurta Maldini - the they shall not pass defence

-------Pirlo----------Zidane

------------Socrates

----Messi---Ronaldo---C. Ronaldo

No Gullit, no Van Basten, no so many others.

No Platini or Boniek for a start!

And no British player at all.

Going Zoff over Maier, as I probably only saw two games as I was pretty fucking young in 1978. Shame, as he is a bit of a hero, but happy with Zoff who was quality.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Lampard is a big statement!

Of English players from my era I think only Seaman and Neville get close. Cole has no hope with Maldini.

 

[Nando]

96/97 or so onwards:

Jan Oblak

Dani Alves
Alessandro Nesta
Rio Ferdinand
Paulo Maldini

Roy Keane
Zinedine Zidane
Andrea Iniesta

Lionel Messi
Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo

Schmeichel, Ashley Cole, Lillian Thuram, Xavi, Andrea Pirlo, Thierry Henry, Francesco Totti

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I love the Messi and two Ronaldo front three. Terrifying.

Lampard is a big statement!

Maldini was a better CH than a LB but it's just easy to put him there.

Cashley was definitely the best LB in the world for ages though.

I'd say Shearer was the best striker in the world for a short period too but he's not getting the shirt ahead of Big Ron.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I did see the best of Maradona. Seriously seriously tempted to swap him out for Socrates, but I love them both.

--------Maradona

--Messi--Ronaldo--C.Ronaldo

that's insane.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Also I have no room for Falcao (proper one, not the modern rubbish) or Rossi. Sad face.

 

[Nando]

Modern Falcao was the best out and out striker in the world for a while before his knees went pop. Insanely good.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Modern Falcao was the best out and out striker in the world for a while before his knees went pop. Insanely good.

Yep. Remember him destroying Chelsea in the Super Cup, unreal.

He's still good now, just took him ages to get back to anything approaching fitness and that wasn't at United or Chelsea. He'll never get back to where he was, them days is over like.

Some of these we could easily split by nation. Best English, German, French, Italian, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian, Argentinian teams.

 

[Templeton Peck]

England. Not completely happy with this but it just about works.

Seaman
Neville Ferdinand Campbell Cole
Ince
Gascoigne Lampard
Gerrard
Rooney Shearer

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

-------------------Seaman-----------------

Neville-------Ferdinand-----Adams------Cole

------------------Carrick---------------------

Beckham-----Lampard-----Gascoigne-----Sterling

-----------------Shearer-----------------------

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Best Spanish (still seen rather than all time list so I have to go from 1982)

--------------Zubizarretta

Carles Puyol Sanchis Fernando Hiero LEFT BACK!!

-Xavi-------Iniesta-------Michel

-------------Torres

Butragueno--------Raul

 

[Nando]

David Villa has to be in there. Better than Torres for me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Brazilian goalkeeper could be entertaining...Tafferel was wank and Felix was worse. Got to go for modern day, which is Edorson and Allison.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

David Villa has to be in there. Better than Torres for me.

El Nino is one of my faves and I can't leave Butragueno out.

I'm almost scared of the reactions if I post mine :icon_lol:

Fucking go for it. It's a debate. If I see Alexei Lallas I will laugh, but I am sure you can make some strong choices.
